Important Considerations About Choosing High School Courses (7th/8th grade)
Every grade matters, even electives
All high school course grades are included in your high school Grade Point Average (GPA). Even if you are taking a fun middle school elective course, if it is a high school credit it will still be included in your high school transcript and grade point average. It cannot be removed once you reach high school.
